"Baden-Powell's selection for the command which resulted in the Siege - so well described in the present text - must surely be one of the best made in the history of war. If ever the right man was sent to the right place, if ever square peg was put into square hole, that man, that 'peg' was B-P at Mafeking....
At Mafeking his imagination and resource, often culminating in bluff, were most remarkable. His courage, physical fitness and energy were an example to us all and a main factor in establishing and keeping up morale. He inspired confidence, not only in the garrison but also among the townspeople, by making it clear that there could be no question of surrender."
